Good Shepherd School vs. Our Lady Queen Of Martyrs

Good Shepherd School is dedicated to providing a quality education that prepares critically thinking, socially capable, spiritually sensitive and culturally aware individuals, who can use all the academic disciplines and the latest technology for personal and professional success and service to others in the 21st century.

Good Shepherd School has and continues to serve as a spiritual anchor to all who have passed through its doors.

The school is located at the most northern tip of Manhattan across the street from beautiful Inwood Park.

We offer a Catholic education to students in grades pre-kindergarten (3 years old) to eighth grade.

Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School bears witness to the Gospel Message of Jesus.

As educators, and Ministers of the Good News, we believe that our vocation is to follow the directive to Teach As Jesus Did and nurture our students' God-given talents in an atmosphere of hope, love and trust.

As professionals from different backgrounds and experiences, we rely on one another for support and join in creating this family-like environment, to which parents, administrator, clergy and staff all contribute.

Educational policies follow the guidelines set by the Superintendent of Schools of the Archdiocese of New York, as outlined in the Administrative Manual, and are influenced by state and national goals.

Local school policies are developed and implemented by the Pastor, administrator and faculty and are illustrated in the Parents' and Teachers' Manuals, which are updated and published annually.

We believe that our curriculum reflects the spiral structure of wisdom and skills, from the essential to the advanced and from the concrete to the abstract, and integrates all subjects and learning experiences.

Christian values are maintained as academic excellence is achieved. Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School recognizes parents as our partners in instruction.
